Book Description
Focusing on the ancient culture and civilization of China, early Southeast Asia, and Melanesia, contributions from 40 specialists in archaeology, ceramics, conservation, historical studies, linguistics, metallurgy, radiocarbon dating, and x-radiology are coordinated into an overall view of the background of the Pacific cultures to the north of Australia. The forty-five papers were delivered at a conference at Kiola, NSW, in 1988, and have been since updated. All of the contributions are presented in English.
